"Chuang Che's art is a synthesis of abundant textures, implicit colors and powerful emotions. As a fusion of oil painting and mixed materials, the exuberant strokes highlight a sense of vivid restless motion and an energetic primal rhythm. In light of the overall panoramic scope, his painting is fully rounded with a canvas that truly exudes a rich aesthetic lair. Chuang's art is like a nexus connecting a chaotic universe with lines of framework or colored patterns which suggest the power of order resisting the chaos, lowing through the universe and signifying a highly masculine aura. Aesthetically and philosophically, his art relects the work of the visionary artist who imitates the divine creative forces in bringing order to chaos. Chuang, with darkness, light and color has undertaken the artistic quest, entering into chaos in order to create art."
Fan Di An, Curator of China National Museum of Arts
"Emptiness in the Welkin" is a masterpiece of Chuang Che's art; he applied considerable black as the fundamental color to structure a scrupulous and dramatic tableau. By employing automatism, the precise, mature and flowing images express an underlying, mysterious universe. However, the fullness n his painting presents a combination of real content, forceful color and hard/soft lines. "Reality is more than emptiness and essence s more than nothing" is his persistent belief reflected in his art. He has sublimated the abstract to another level; a poetic hybrid of actuality and vanity, dynamics and ranquility, power and weakness is delivered n his work. A new and attractive visual anguage is created between the oriental spirit and western media.
